Shutter button cable for time-elapsed pictures?
I have a beautiful view of the canopy of an older residential area of my city from the 9th floor office, and I would love to take a few time-elapsed pictures! However, I'm just using a Sony Cybershot, so even if I use a tripod, there is a bit of movement between each picture (I have to turn it on with a button, and press the shutter button).
Is there some way to attach a shutter button cord to my camera? I've taken pictures of cells at a hospital, and they have something that can be screwed into the camera. There is a button on the end of the long wire/cord/cable that allows me to take pictures without moving the camera.
Does anyone know what these are called, or do you have any other suggestions?
Yes, it's called a cable release. Some DSLR manufacturers even call it a 'remote shutter cable'. You may even be able to connect your camera to your PC and use a remote software to control the camera....
Another option may be to set it to manual settings with a long shutter speed and use the delay timer setting (like you would for self portraits). When the timer counts down and fires the shutter, all vibrations probably stopped.
Another problem may be the stability of your tripod. Most consumer tripods are not really strong enough to hold a camera still in a light wind... or dampen vibrations. If your camera moves for a second or two after you touch it, your tripod is insufficient.
